The Southeastern 16 crew discusses Mississippi State fired baseball coach Chris Lemonis on Monday, April 28, topics include: Lemonis leaves a legacy that includes a 2021 national championship. But the Bulldogs struggled since, failing to make the NCAA Tournament in 2022 and 2023 and failing to make it out of a regional in 2024. Lemonis was 232-135 overall and 82-89 in SEC play, but just 42-69 after winning a national title. He's owed approximately $1.2 million and is the second baseball coach MSU has fired this century. Why did athletic director Zac Selmon make a change now? And are we surprised Lemonis was fired in-season? Pitching coach Justin Parker will be the interim coach. What will that mean? How attractive is the job in a more-competitive-than-ever SEC and does MSU have the budget to hire an elite coach? Who will the Bulldogs hire? Potential candidates might include: Those with MSU ties: Georgia hitting coach Will Coggin (played at MSU), Kentucky coach Nick Mingione (MSU assistant from 2009-15), Auburn coach Butch Thompson (MSU assistant from 2009-15), Georgia coach Wes Johnson (pitching coach in 2016), Louisiana Tech coach Lane Burroughs (MSU assistant from 2009-12) Sitting head coaches without MSU ties: Alabama's Rob Vaughn, East Carolina's Cliff Godwin, Clemson;s Erik Bakich, Kansas coach Dan Fitzgerald, Duke's Chris Pollard, Dallas Baptist's Dan Heefner and Wake Forest's Tom Walter, Oklahoma's Skip Johnson, Oregon State's Mitch Carnham, North Carolina's Scott Forbes, Oregon's Scott Wasikowski Current assistants without MSU ties: Tennessee hitting coach Josh Elander FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA Twitter: https://twitter.com/16Southeastern SANDERS LOGISTICS Efficient, hassle-free moving: https://www.tedrsandersmoving.com/ ADVERTISE WITH SOUTHEASTERN 16 Reach out to caroline.smith@southeastern14.com to find out how your product or service can be seen by over 200,000 unique viewers each month! #sec #secbaseball #collegebaseball
Strong leadership is born not from control, but from authentic community and the cultivation of people and teams. Nathan Hatch, former president of Wake Forest University and esteemed historian, joins Mark Labberton to reflect on the nature of transformative leadership. Drawing from his decades of experience at Notre Dame and Wake Forest—and from his new book, The Gift of Transformative Leaders—Hatch explores how leaders cultivate thriving institutions through humility, vision, and empowerment. Hatch shares his personal journey from growing up in a Presbyterian home to leading major universities, while reflecting on the comomunity, character, instincts, and freedom required for lasting institutional impact. Episode Highlights "Organizations aren't self-generating—you bet on people, not on strategy." "Organizations are best served when you have a team of like-minded people, each using their own strengths." "Leadership has to flow out of who you are authentically—you can't try to be someone else." "If you have exceptional people, it takes management of a different form—it's collaboration." "Leadership is not about control but about strength: hiring strong people is harder, but it's transformative." "People read your real meanings, not your words—authenticity is the heart of leadership." Helpful Links & Resources The Gift of Transformative Leaders, by Nathan Hatch University of Notre Dame Wake Forest University Jim Collins - Good to Great About Nathan Hatch Dr. Nathan O.

Monty and Nick recap all the Weekend 10 action, including BC's upset of Wake Forest, Notre Dame's sweep of Stanford, and Miami's sweep of Georgia Tech.

North Carolina's sweep of Wake Forest sent shockwaves through the ACC especially considering how the Heels accomplished the feat.

Consistency at the plate will continue to be the goal as the pitching staff has continued to be solid top to bottom. Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley spoke to head coach Scott Forbes about his team and topics relevant to the program and season.

Florida State football returned to the practice field for the first time in 2025 on Wednesday, kicking off spring camp and the process of acclimating the team — which includes 32 newcomers — to a new offensive and defensive scheme. “I thought the guys really did a nice job of understanding the structure of what we want practice to look like,” head coach Mike Norvell said. “Great speed, energy, being able to move around from place to place. “I thought the coaches did a good job preparing the players and what to expect. And obviously new installation. We've tried to maximize the walk-through time, the meeting time that we've had leading up to this.

In this college football podcast episode, we dig into a very specific list of ailments for 10 college football teams. From Illinois' third-down struggles to USC's late-game woes, we diagnose teams' glaring issues from 2024—including Wisconsin's explosiveness, Colorado's run game, Air Force's slip—and their 2025 cures.0:00 - Intro6:11 - Illinois13:14 - Wisconsin20:12 - Colorado25:41 - Kansas State30:57 - Arkansas34:23 - Texas Tech41:59 - USC49:35 - Virginia Tech55:52 - Wake Forest58:04 - Air Force**Key Topics Discussed**Illinois' Third-Down BluesIllinois shined in 2024, but abysmal third-down defense (100s nationally) left wins on the table—new DL transfers from Wisconsin aim to boost havoc and get off the field.Wisconsin's Explosion DeficitWisconsin's offense fizzled (bottom 5 in explosiveness)—injuries (Tyler Van Dyke) and a mismatch with Phil Longo sank chunk plays; Jeff Grimes and Billy Edwards Jr could provide a spark.Colorado's Run Game RiddleColorado leaned on Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and a good crop of receivers, but its leading rusher ran for just 373 yards. Is Kaidon Salter's dual-threat style in conflict with Pat Shurmur's offense?Kansas State's Turnover TanglesKansas State's Avery Johnson dazzled but tossed double-digit picks—turnovers (BYU, Iowa State) cost winnable games. Johnson's development should mean better results in 2025.Arkansas' Fumble FeverArkansas' Taylen Green fumbled 8 times (lost 4) and threw 9 picks—fuelling a negative-8 turnover margin, which sank the Hogs in close games (Mizzou, Oklahoma State); ball security drills loom large.Texas Tech's "Slipnosis"Texas Tech's tackling woes (133rd in success rate) led to a low havoc rate and plethora of other black eyes for the Red Raider defense—new DC Shiel Wood and portal DBs/DL aim to steady a defense that leads the nation in returning production.USC's Killer Instinct VoidUSC faltered in late game situations in 2024. Did Lincoln Riley reset the team's culture this offseason?Virginia Tech's NarcolepsyVirginia Tech went 3-and-out on 33% of its drives in 2024—a shaky OL and banged-up Kyron Dones dulled the attack, Will Phil Montgomery as offensive coordinator and a battery of West Virginia transfers equal better consistency.Wake Forest's Line WoesWake Forest's lines cratered in 2024—new HC Jake Dickert grabbed 22 transfers (7th in FBS), beefing up the OL/DL.Air Force's Possession SlipAir Force's formula (possess the ball, suffocate with defense) faltered in 2024 with 7 straight losses (Weeks 2-10) and a young defense that was exposed.
